BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) Young adult immigrants known as Dreamers in 19 U.S. states will be temporarily blocked from getting health insurance through the Affordable Care Acts public marketplace, a federal judge has ruled, limiting an effort by the Biden administration to help immigrants brought to the country illegally as children.
Judge Daniel Traynor of the U.S. District Court in North Dakota issued the order Monday from Bismarck, dealing a setback to a Biden administration rule that was estimated to allow 147,000 immigrants to enroll for coverage. Traynors ruling came in a lawsuit filed over the policy and will remain in effect until the matter can go to trial.
The ruling applies to immigrants in 19 states where Republican attorneys general sued to avoid having to comply with the new policy. They cited concern over immigrants possibly qualifying for public subsidies available to many people insured under the ACA.
The GOP state officials argued that the rule created earlier this year by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services would be a strong incentive for immigrants to remain in the U.S. illegally and could creating costs for states. They argued that both the Affordable Care Act and a 1996 law prohibit U.S. government benefits flowing to immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.

with gods know what while you contemplate the closed widows. Or your kid in school
Then of course theres the meat processing plant, where you dont work, but undocumented immigrants do.
Theres a thing called enlightened self-interest, where you make sure other people have access to health care so you dont get sick.
I get so damn tired of the stupidity of the MAGAGOPs.
